A thread.
Let me start by stating one thing I'm not sure people know:
Do you know what (in my opinion) Frenkie De Jong (FDJ) wants to do in all of this, stay at Barcelona.
MINDBLOWN
For real though, but it's not that simple is it?
He also wants the money Barcelona are contracted to pay

If you don't know the situation at Barcelona you've been living under a rock, but you can see more on it here;
FDJ on a reported £354k a week (rising potentially to £450k) if he meets bonuses making him the highest paid player at Barca. That's a problem.

FDJ on a reported £354k a week (rising potentially to £450k) if he meets bonuses making him the highest paid player at Barca. That's a problem.
Widely reported that Xavi and board have asked FDJ to take a significant pay cut (up to 50%,) which he legally doesn't have to do like some others have decided to at the club.
However, FDJ HAS agreed to defer his wage meaning Barca aren't breaking any rules there FOR NOW.

Reports suggest Barcelona owe FDJ £17m & this is the big sticking point.
Assuming Barcelona opt for a third lever, get FDJ to reduce wages & get him to write off a % of the 17m + sell 49.9% of BLM & move some players many say they'd be able to keep him without issue.

However, that's a lot of things that need to happen. FDJ wants assurances Barcelona can't give without him making the changes. So, vicious circle.
I believe United have had a fee agreed, but agent and FDJ want the money they're owed before leaving, which is fair.

I do not believe he doesn't want to go to United, but I do think as I said at the start he'd prefer to stay at Barcelona. Chelsea have a fleeting interest, but nothing serious.
I also think United are weighing up if they want to pay his deferred wages.

So what now?
I think it's a coin flip if he moves as of today. Personally, I think it'd be a huge benefit to both clubs if he left. United don't want to be taken for mugs, and Barcelona are kind of using hypotheticals to cling on and remove that additional £17m of debt.
